Review of France (2021) by Mauro_Lanari — 17 Dec 2021

(Mauro Lanari).

Dumont introduces us to a protagonist with persistent mood swings that would be caused by the accumulation of her personal, professional and road accidents. In reality, his direction full of incomprehensible slownesses or ellipses is more bipolar than the life of France de Meurs (pun for "France of Costums": "meurs" reads the same as "mœurs" which, exactly as for the Latin "mores", designates the common social habits or practices of a people or a nation), and of the velleitarian dramedy on the media and political Western system reduced to debordian infotainment there isn't much of both genres.
